Looking to acquire a profitable and well-established podiatry clinic in a thriving Merseyside suburb?
Podiatry Business Central are pleased to bring to the market a growing and longstanding podiatry clinic in a desirable Merseyside suburb, with turnover in excess of £196,000, offering a rare opportunity for a new owner seeking a stable, reputable, and growth-ready healthcare business.
About the Practice
Established in 1984, this highly regarded podiatry clinic has built a loyal patient base over several decades. The practice provides a full range of services, including general podiatry treatments, initial consultations, biomechanical assessments, orthotic supply, and nail surgery.
With the current owner retiring, this is an ideal opportunity for a seamless transition and continued success under new ownership.
Prime Merseyside Location
The clinic occupies a prominent position at the end of a busy high street in a popular and vibrant town. Key location advantages include:
- High visibility and consistent footfall
- Surrounded by independent businesses that strengthen local presence
- Excellent public transport links for easy patient access
- Growing residential developments expanding potential patient demand
- A well-established reputation within the local community
This strong location supports both immediate stability and long-term growth.
Additional Income Potential
One consulting room is currently rented out two days per week to an Osteopath on a fee-share basis. This arrangement can be retained for supplementary income or converted to full-time podiatry use to enhance clinical capacity.
The business has shown consistent improvements in turnover and profitability, with further scope for growth through modernised systems and new business strategies.
Premises and Facilities
The practice operates from well-presented, easily accessible ground-floor premises, comprising:
- Reception and waiting area
- Two consulting rooms
- Patient WC
The property is in good condition and benefits from a security alarm system, illuminated signage, and a prominent 90‑degree external sign for visibility. The premises are freehold and owned by the vendor. A new lease will be offered at £10,000 per annum, with the option to purchase the freehold at a later date if desired.
Competition
There are only two other independent podiatry clinics within a 1.5-mile radius, giving this practice a strong competitive position in the local market.
Operating Hours
The clinic currently operates Monday to Friday, with published hours ranging from 8am to 7pm depending on the day. It remains closed on weekends. The podiatrist is available all day from Monday to Thursday and Friday mornings only, aligning with the clinic’s active weekday schedule. This setup offers consistent service throughout the week while leaving room for future expansion, such as extending Friday afternoons or opening on weekends, should the new owner wish to increase capacity.
